Your GPA probably disqualifies your from Harvard Yale and Stanford. Get a 177+ though and everywhere else is probably possible.

How much does the recommendation play in? How much does the professional experience weigh? Lots of early stage legal discourse in this area--nextgen internet sys, but is it meaningless aside from the two numbers?

Re: Splitter URM-- technologist with a political party
yeah mostly 2 numbers plus your URM status. Im a black male splitter as well but am straight through from undergrad. Work experience is nice, recommendations mean very little, a point on the lsat or your GPA is worth much much more than both of those.NodeNode wrote:How much does the recommendation play in?

Re: Splitter URM-- technologist with a political party
Pretty much yeah. Admissions is literally 95% GPA, LSAT, URM status. A little room for world shattering softs but unfortunately yours aren't. With your really low GPA, you need to only worry about crushing the lsat.NodeNode wrote:How much does the recommendation play in? How much does the professional experience weigh?

Re: Splitter URM-- technologist with a political party
Should also mention, this sys is being shopped around at some of the biggest banks in the world...though this isn't to say this is a world shattering soft. Legitimately unsure as to what a world shattering soft is...though maybe you mean like a rhodes scholar?grades?? wrote:Pretty much yeah. Admissions is literally 95% GPA, LSAT, URM status.

Re: Splitter URM-- technologist with a political party
Olympic Athlete and Rhodes Scholar. Or both. PM me if you want more info but those softs are something that makes an admissions committee say oh, this is a resume we haven't/wont see more than once in a few years (unless its Yale, and then, well its Yale).NodeNode wrote:What would world shattering softs be?
Edit: Being shopped around is different then selling it for $50 million. Not being rude, but sure its a cool thing that your technology is being showed around. But thats not something earth shattering, at least at this point. Sell it for $50 mil, then screw going to law school anyway. Anything less, meh.

Some are just quirky but others are super impressive. They usually have at least 1 rhodes scholar each year. Peep that bronze star recipient doh. This isn't even the most impressive list I've seen from them.

Re: Splitter URM-- technologist with a political party
There's been about 66,000 of those awarded since Sept 11, 2001. You don't even need to be in combat or even around combat to get one; it's a "thanks for playing" award. Some dudes did bad-ass stuff to get one, some did laundry in Kuwait or answered emails in a 5-Star hotel in Qatar.t-14orbust wrote: Peep that bronze star recipient doh.

Hahahaha, I like it.t-14orbust wrote:is that why it's bronze
In WW2 it was a bad-ass award, but the professionalization of the officer corps during the cold war meant everyone who was anyone had to have one, it was/is a check-the-block patsy.
If a lower ranking soldier gets a Bronze Star, it probably means he really kicked ass in some way; he/she deserves mad respect.
If an officer gets one, it means he wasn't convicted of a felony and didn't accidentally shoot many people. He/she could deserve respect, but who knows.

Re: Splitter URM-- technologist with a political party
How long have you been out? I feel like this must have changed in the last few years. I'm finishing up five years and no one in my battalion has ever gotten a BS, even nonmerit. Commanders and 1SGs get MSMs if they do well, LTs and PSGs get ARCOMs. Even our outgoing S3/BN XOs didn't get BSs.Wipfelder wrote:Hahahaha, I like it.t-14orbust wrote:is that why it's bronze

Re: Splitter URM-- technologist with a political party
The Bronze Star is only awarded for "meritorious" or valorous service "in-theatre". So like, you'd get a BS for something you did in the Stan', and an MSM for something you did back in the states or whatever. Sometimes you can get an MSM in-theatre, but you can't get a BSM for non-combat related actions, however loosely "combat" may be defined.Nagster5 wrote:How long have you been out?

My understanding is that the Marine Corps gives out many less BS's, I don't know if your Army or Marines.
I don't think they are handing out as many BS's for "New Dawn" and stuff in like, Jordan and everything, but I've been out of the cool-guy game for a minute.

Chain-mail maker? Lol, what are they preparing for the next crusades? Why only get a chain-mail maker and not a Blacksmith, an Apothecarie, or an Alchemist?
Rumor has it all the Vagabonds that applied this year were rejected.
As long as your last names Bush, Carnegie, Russel, Smith, or Loeb I am sure your profession is immaterial.

You are right.

With that being said, there are still some very interesting qualifications on there.
